You wouldn’t think it, but there’s lanes in the water. There’s
circular ripples that geese drift on to get to where they need to go. Occasionally
they have to change lanes to keep on track to their destination. And that’s
where the chaos begins. Whether it’s a commute or a migration, the whole flock
is constantly on the move. Their aim is to either position themselves for the
best viewpoint, or put themselves forward in an ideal place to be the first in
line for food, or to help protect the flock. As different birds have different
objectives at different times, this often means bumping into each other. Some might
use it as an excuse to copulate or assert dominance, others may find it a nice
gesture. Be prepared or a lot of arguments as they chase each other, especially
when the defender has had enough and flies off with the attacker in pursuit to
either assert or explain their intentions.
